    • It is not just the idea of financial incentives that has come up for ethical reconsideration in response to the increasingly severe organ shortage. Other plans for increasing the supply of organs that were once suspect and/or medically unwise include: harvesting organs from anencephalic infants; accepting living donations from convicts; xenotransplantation; expanding the criteria for donors to include older (for example, syphilis); linking organ harvesting to the removal of life support for "non-heart-beating donors"; accepting living donations from "living emotionally related" and "living unrelated" donors; and permit organ removal unless an objection has been registered ("presumed consent"). Several of these approaches are already a part of transplantation practice in the United States and in other countries.

    • The United States is not alone in generating survey research on ethical issues in organ transplantation. For example, the Japanese were subjected to more than ten national surveys on the issue of brain death and organ between 1983 and 1992 (Lock M. Displacing suffering: the reconstruction of death in North America and Japan. Daedalus 1996;125: 228). The international journal publishes much of this research; the Partnership of many of the American studies at its website: www.transweb.org/partnership/abstract.html

Once permission is kin, the patient is removed from life support and, assuming the heart does not begin to beat in its own, removal of organs is initiated. See: eds.

    • Controversy erupts over organ removals
    • Critical views of the Pittsburgh policy are included in a collection of essays originally published in the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal (see reference 39). An especially controversial modification of the undertaken by other medical centres involved the injection of chemicals to preserve organs for transplant before permission was granted by next of kin. This yielded negative reactions as well as the threat of law-suits Apr 13: section 1:28.
